there is a huge diffarence between the German rottweiler and the English rottweiler and that is because, THE GERMAN ROTTWEILER is shorter but all muscles and they have a giant massave head, they are more trainable, loyal, smart, good around children, and protective. i would recomend getting a German rottweiler if you were thinking about it. they get 100 to 170 lbs. they are 26 to 30 inches for males and females are 23 to 28 inches. there is just so much more about the German rottweiler that is 100 times better then the American rottweiler.
